Well, 2.6 definitely has support for SATA controlers, so you should in theory be able to get it working provided that the controler in your system is one that is supported. What boot messages, if any, do you get? I may be able to figure out what is wrong with it if you tell me specifically what it is saying. -- A man is a fool if he has forgotten what it was to be young, as his experience is worth nothing.
